Can you really make profits using the Martingale strategy on roulette?
- Not guaranteed profits, as every bet is a new bet which is independent of any previously placed bets.
- Martingale leads to a high chance of winning small, and a low chance of losing everything.
The total numbers on a roulette table are 37 (0, 1, 2......,35, 36). There are different gameplays, and a player can bet on the below gameplays to win ideally using the Martingale strategy.
- 1-18, 19-36: Zero is not included
- Red, Black: Green color is not included
- Even, and Odd: Zero is not even or odd.
So, the winning percentage is 18/37 in each of the above gameplay is (Total 37 numbers) = 48.64%
If a player bets $10 on the above 3 gameplayers, on winning a player will get $20 (Cost is $10 and $10 is profit).
Which roulette bets can be used for Martingale[edit]
Bets on even-money outer bets, such as 1-18, 19-36; Red, Black, Even, and Odd, should be made exclusively while utilizing the Martingale since this is the most efficient method to use the strategy. They have the best probability of winning (almost 50%), but the smallest reward of all of the options available (1:1). This indicates that you walk away with the same amount of money as you wagered on the spin. In the game of roulette, they are the wagers that are the least likely to result in a loss for the player.[1]

Because all bets are independent events, there is no way to predict future bets. Any bet is fine.
How to start Martingale theory and double your bets[edit]
A player should always begin his bets with a little sum, ideally the table minimum, and maintain the same level of bets until losing the game. If a player loses, he needs to increase the amount of his stake for the following spin by a factor of two. In this method, if he wins, he will not only get back the money he lost in the previous round but also receive an additional prize. If a player keeps losing, he should keep increasing his bet since the rationale behind this strategy never changes. When he gets a win, he needs to start again immediately and place the minimum possible wager on the following spin. The process must be repeated.[2]
| Spin | Bet | Stake | Result | Profit | Total Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Black | $10 | Lose | (-$10) | (-$10) |
| 2 | Black | $20 | Lose | (-$20) | (-$30) |
| 3 | Black | $40 | Lose | (-$40) | (-$70) |
| 4 | Black | $80 | Win | $80 | $10 |
| 5 | Black | $10 | Lose | (-$10) | $0 |
